Man found dead in Red Deer

Red Deer RCMP are continuing to investigate the suspicious death of a 58-year-old man in the Riverside Meadows part of the city.

The man's body was discovered Dec. 25 after police received a call requesting that they check on the well-being of the caller's father.

The caller had been trying to reach the man for several days. Police arrived on scene to find the man dead.

An autopsy was conducted Tuesday but no cause of death has been identified at this time.

"At this point in time, we're waiting for additional information from the medical examiner and we're continuing to investigate this matter as suspicious until otherwise told not to," said RCMP Cpl. Kathe Deheer.
